Gold Authenticity
The most obvious way to determine the authenticity of gold is to look for a purity mark. Be careful, even if your piece marked 14k or 18k it doesn't mean it's genuine gold. Some jewelry is mismarked to mislead the public.
Real Gold is not Magnetic!
Check your piece ( especially jewelry) with a magnet. Real gold will not be attracted to the magnet. Gold does not contain iron and not magnetic. If in doubt let our professional staff appraise your suspected gold for you.
